Zara reviews

- Long hours on the floor - Can be extremely stressful - Physically/mentally draining at times - As in any retail environment, must deal with irate customers - Terrible discount - Long hours/black-out periods during holidays make it difficult to maintain work-like balance

I worked in Zara in Nottingham for couple of years, part-time while studying. The company does not care for their employees who are often working in very bad conditions, where cold temperatures were sometimes unbearable and the staff was not allowed to wear jumpers. Managers are very uneducated and do not receive any managerial training. Most of the time, they are young people without any education, who worked there since they were 16 and would not be able to retain in any other job. They then missuse their power and put the rest of the staff down. Some of the managers' comments affected not only me but also my other collegues. Managers aim to manipulate the staff by making them feel that they would not be able to find a better job, so people end up working there for years, loosing their confidence.
